Here are Pep's tactics, how do you counter them?

4-5-1 and pray

It’s a free hit for Burnley and I expect we will give our best, suspect that city will be 18 points clear by the timethe rest of the league kicks off.

Here’s hoping anyway UTC

Don't sweat it. They spent €90m, which you call "hardly anything", there is no issue here. And like you say, Real Madrid and Sevilla each spent €30m, Athletico Madrid €20m, Sevilla €10m, Racing Santander and Real Mallorca about €5m each - as you say, the clubs around Barcelona actually spent more money. If you add them all together.

You're that desperate to argue you're purposely talking out of your arse, I'll leave you to it weirdo.

Obviously I am a fan of Guardiola!

Guardiola hasn't just assembled a lot of very expensive players, he has introduced a style of play with the characteristics that his Barcelona and Bayern teams were known for and 25 games in, we've won 22. That's pretty amazing. City spent big under Hughes, Mancini and Pellegrini. None of them came close to the football that Pep has produced. In fact under Hughes we were mid-table. We had Robinho, Adebayor, Gareth Barry, Kolo Toure, De Jong, Lescott all very expensively acquired.

The previous best side was the one that pipped Utd to the title in the last seconds of the season with that Aguero moment. That season we won 28 games. To match that we need 6 wins from 13 games. And this City side is in the Champions League, the FA Cup and the League Cup final.

Individual players are much improved. what I really like is the total commitment of the team in every game. That comes from the manager. You have that too.

City could well get beat at Burnley. I've said lots of good things about Guardiola, not because I think he has made us invincble. We are not, and I always think we could get beat in the next game. We have just had an amazing season so far. You have to pinch yourself to believe that this is happening to our club.

I do think that city are entering a difficult period now because we have lost players. Players like Jesus and sane have been outstanding, and we miss them no matter how good the other players are. Sane can produce some amazing runs. There just is no one else like him. Going to be out for quite a while.

What are you talking about? How has he possibly improved individual players? According to many on here he hasn't improved anyone and he's a bag of sh**e.

Attack, fight them on the beaches, in the fields in the hedge rows.

[claretspice]

Be brave and press high, but don't give too many fouls away in the process. Save your fouls for when you need them, when they get a yard on you.

Basically, what we did to them at the Etihad in the cup, just without switching off at a set play to let them into the game.

Get inside the mangers mind early on.
